Mysterious noise, HELP!

I have an Evo 8 RS and I’ve been hearing this clunking/clanking noise for the past few weeks. I narrowed it down to the front passenger side but I can only hear it at low RPMs while cruising. Could it be the rotor (there’s a wobble when braking at high speed)? Could it be the dust shield (hear it when I turn at low speeds)? Could it be the CV axel assembly? Endlinks? I’m gonna try to get a video posted soon.

Update: Didn’t tighten the front passenger lug nuts down. Tightened them down, problem solved. Noise gone.

if they are the stock wheels... you have to make sure you get everything centered up before you run the lug nuts in.

if you dont, they will hit the lip of the wheel, and you might think they are fastened correctly... but they are not.
